Why I Can't Show You The H******** S***

FlowersInHisHair says...

The right to freedom of panorama should sort it out, but in the US it depends if the H******** S*** is considered art or a building, as art is exempt from freedom of panorama and can be trademarked. Seems to me that if the owners of the H******** S*** seek to display their art upon the landscape then it should only be fair to allow people to use it in videos and photos. It's unreasonable to expect otherwise.

I haven't seen The Hobbit 3 - do they talk about the Seven at all in the film? It would have been a great way to link the Hobbit films with the darker, bigger world of the LotR trilogy if Thorin had come into possession of one of them after Smaug was killed.

What makes something right or wrong? Narrated by Stephen Fry

FlowersInHisHair says...

The fact that we can look critically at the instructions we are given in the Bible and judge them to be moral or immoral is evidence that we do not get our morality from the god described within its pages, nor its human avatar.

On the flipside of the argument, the killers and thieves you mention have access to this book too, and behave badly despite certain instructions to the contrary. We look at its instructions regarding genocide and slavery and stoning adulteresses and it's an easy "no, I won't do that", at least for most of us. We also look at its instruction regarding theft and murder and some people do those things anyway. So what I wonder is, what effect is this god supposed to have, exactly?

I've seen the people who claim that morality comes from religion, and that without religion, we wouldn't know right from wrong.

So, that's when I wondered:
Are there people who actually don't know right from wrong? Are they missing that piece in their brains that limit their comprehension of empathy. That feeling when they are doing something wrong. There are no thoughts of doubt, no pangs of guilt. No recognition that they are hurting others, even if just emotionally.

And, if so, are these the people that need a God? Are all those god fearing people good members of the community just because they "fear a God"

Interesting stuff is interesting. I've never heard of this before, it's an unusual noise to hear in speech. The question should be why would it not be interesting?

Wait what? How did this get top sifted - where's the appeal for a non-Swede in all this? Is the Sift just a Swedish cabal?
